Etymology

From Old Galician-Portuguese tregua (13th century, Cantigas de Santa Maria), probably from Gothic π„π‚πŒΉπŒ²πŒ²π…πŒ° (triggwa), inflected form of π„π‚πŒΉπŒ²πŒ²π…πƒ (triggws, β€œtrue, faithful”); but attested Medieval Latin treuga points perhaps to a West Germanic *trewwa, from Proto-Germanic *trewwō.[1]
